    There is a holly tree at front of house, very close to house front window within our property line. It is "untidy" and mishapen and reduces daylight into the front room and front bedroom as it is so close to the house. The reason for change is to "tidy up" the appearance and imporve daylight. The proposed works is to take away some of the very lowest branches and to tidy-up/re-shape the tree. The works will be extremely minor; less than 1m of crown lift - and less than 20% thinning of the 'crown'. "Tree #1" as marked on the submitted plan. It is not a protected tree but is in preservation area.
